Colin ventured to Mexico
to better understand how
mezcal’s rising global popu-
larity was changing the vil-
lages of the southern state
of Oaxaca. Brian Finke’s

a 2016 Ozzie honorable
mention from Folio maga-
zine and a winning spot in
American Photography 33,
the leading annual com-
petition for contemporary
photography.“Full of Grace”
